The lighting of the Diya has a deeper meaning. Each component of the diya holds a unique meaning. For instance, the oil in the brass diya represents the filth that is prevalent in the human mind, such as jealousy, anger, greed, etc. The cotton in the diya represents a person's soul, self, or body. The diya lights up when the wick burns the oil. As a result, the lighting of the diyas symbolises the desire to get rid of materialistic and avaricious thoughts.
